FEAR IMPRISONMENT

Born February 1962, Aquarius creative, intuitive, curious, and resilient. Growing up in Los Angeles at an early age, but attending high school in Des Moines, Iowa my major or career path was Diesel Mechanic, and yes it was extremely difficult but rewarding. Graduating in 1980, was voted must likely to succeed. After graduating I started to experience a shift in my mindset, I did not want to settle and become like others I knew, I felt a calling to become more. Moving back to Los Angeles I attended National Technical School majoring in Diesel Mechanics, upon graduating spent several years rebuilding gasoline engines,1992 started working on trucks, and later securing my Dream Job with Union Pacific Railroad working on locomotives. March of 2007, I retired at the age of 45. You see before I met my wife, I often prayed saying that there had to be more to life, and YES, that is when I found GOD… My life began to shift, my thoughts changed, and more is what I was looking for, and more is what I received. During the years I have been involved in helping other people excel, helping them find solutions to some of life's most challenging problems. Received many awards for community service and involvement. Currently serving as Lead Pastor at local Church, and today me and wife are blessed to be able to travel the world. May you continue to look for more from life, and yourself do not be surprised if more comes… Melvin Ashley
